I am on the James Bond Islands tour out of Phuket, Thailand, and we are not on the third stop of the tour at Khao Phing Kan or James Bond island, which was the shooting location for the 1974 Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun. This island cluster is part of the Ao Phang Nga National Park. Here is a sign on the James Bond Island about the Ao Phang Nga National Park. This sign is fairly self explanatory if you view it in full screen or expanded mode, but it is far too detailed for a signboard, and the writing is very small, so while I will save you the commentary, you can read up the information of the sign if you are so inclined. Brief notes about the Ao Phang Nga National Park appeared earlier in this album. (see previous pictures). (Phuket, Thailand, Oct/ Nov. 2019)
A cow, brought here for food among the tall grass in the Okhla Bird Sanctuary. The grass is so tall that it towers over the size of the cow. A lot of the grass is dried and yellow rather than green. The river Yamuna is very close by, lapping on the edges of the sanctuary.

The Tahquamenon Falls are two different waterfalls on the Tahquamenon River. Both sets are located near Lake Superior in the eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The water is notably brown in color from the tannins leached from the cedar swamps which the river drains. The upper falls are more than 200 feet (60 m) across and with a drop of approximately 48 feet .
Children at the Community Baboon Sanctuary viewed a presentation highlighting Belize’s protected Areas and the risks of oil exploration and drilling. Children then took action by signing a petition to ban oil exploration and drilling in off shore and in Belize’s protected areas.

Interesting land forms as we speed along on the Andaman Sea towards our next destination. I am on the Ao Phang Nga National Park speedboat tour, known more popular as the James Bond Islands tour out of Phuket, Thailand. This marine park is known for it's several interesting land forms, karst mountains and pillar rocks (known as 'stacks'in geological terms). We have had an interesting morning, and have just left Khao Phing Kan, known more popularly as James Bond Island, as this was where the 1974 Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun was shot. (see previous pictures earlier in this album). It had been raining in the morning, and after clearing a bit, we can see rain clouds again in the distance. Our next stop will be for lunch. I saw an interesting name for that conical rock you see in the background, but sadly I seem to have lost the reference at the moment. Notes about the Ao Phang Nga National Park appeared earlier in this album. (see previous pictures). (Phuket, Thailand, Oct/ Nov. 2019)
